How to Setup the MXCC Remote view for a Mobil Users

Dear All,

We had a project with 65 MX Camera which required to be view on a MXCC on Laptop which was traveling all over the world. The easy option was to create a NAT for each of the camera but this was not possible due to high cost of the Router which could handle 65 camera.

The alternate solution was to create a VPN Tunnel for the Road Warrior (Mobile Users).. this would require additional hardware at the site. the solution is as follows

What Lens to use at what Distance

In the past few months, we have been working together trying to break into city surveillance and such related project. While providing demo (proof of concept) its was quite shocking to see that our colleagues in the Industries and ourself, unable to address the issue & concern from the Police Dept and the users.

To make easy the understanding of all the parameter's which influence the working of the Face or No Plate Recognition System, i have attached an xls file, using which you can work out the solution.. 

How to Compare the Min Lux Levels in the dataSheet of the Camera

Time and again this question is asked, if a 0.002 Lux Camera is better than a Camera with a Specification of 2Lux. This mail and Work `sheet is a attempt to address this.
The Pdf Attached provided the formula for the maths which proves which camera is better than the other for the similar light conditions and similar FPS. If you look at most data sheets the Min Lux level is mentioned as 0.65 Lux @ F1.0, what is not mentioned is the the following data
1. Reflectance of the test Subject
2. Shutter Speed Used
3. AGC used or Not
4. IRE at which the Lux Level was measured

How To Decide The Nos Of Disk on The NAS Or Storage Server Should Have

After working for a Year and studying the various method used by SI to Size a NAS and also noticing the problems they face. I have documented the following

The parameters that are essential for Selecting the NAS or Storage server

The normal process is to use the storage calc and find the total TB for total Nos of Camera and then study the spec of the NAS for the TB of storage.. The difficulty with this approach is that some NAS perform as required and most do not.. We end up blaming the NAS for non Performance but fail to understand that we have sized the NAS incorrectly..

The important param which is very very clear from the various post on the Internet on storage calculations is IOPS.. Unfortunately there is no documentation on this for Video surveillance.

I shall attempt to do so.. pls kindly note I am not an expert in Storage and have no great experience with the various NAS available in the Market.

All expert on storage are welcome to point out any error or technical issues with my documentations
